Roguish Archetype

Phantom
Phantoms are a sect of rogues devout to obtaining or
exploiting the knowledge and power known only to the
spirits of the ether. Often phantoms are born when a loved
ones life is taken. In an attempt to stay in contact with their
love the soon-to-be phantom delves deep into the arts of
mediums and necromancers. They develop abilities which
allow them to speak to, walk amongst, strike out against, or
even imitate the spirits of the dead.
